title: Hydrogel-based contractile electrodes for stimulation of cells and tissues.
abstract: We developed techniques for preparing a muscular cells-arrayed hydrogel sheet and a microelectrodes-printed hydrogel sheet. The combination of these two hydrogel sheets enables the metabolic assay for muscular tissue under a controlled contractile motion.
